Indian Company Creates Ingenious Edible Cutlery To Help Put An End To Plastic Waste

The world is drowning in plastic waste. Especially plastic cutlery has been around for many years and is used without really thinking about the consequences these small, “harmless” items can have on the planet.

Narayana Peesapathy, however, knew the thread that plastic poses to our environment and health and created something ingenious: Edible cutlery which is made out of flours of jowar (sorghum) blended with rice and wheat.

Besides the fact that you can just eat them up afterwards, the spoons contain no chemicals, preservatives, fat, emulsifiers, artificial colors, or milk products. Instead they are 100% biodegradable, natural and come in many different – sweet and savory – flavors.
